FDA 483 - United Airlines - May 24, 2023

An FDA inspection of United Airlines' airline watering point in Flushing, NY, revealed significant issues related to the maintenance of potable water servicing equipment. Observations included soiled rags, uncapped hoses, damaged equipment, and a lack of handwashing signs, all contributing to potential water contamination. Additionally, the firm failed to store food under protective conditions, evidenced by excessive condensation in an ice bin.
